Thanksgiving And Giving And Giving And …..
I love Thanksgiving for so many reasons. Families and friends come together to share a wonderful meal prepared, in our house, by Marcia of Top Notch Caterers. (It doesn’t get any better than Marcia!)
That being said, I actually did more to prepare this Thanksgiving meal than any in years, since I was solely in charge of re-heating everything and baking the rolls and setting the table. OK, so I’m sure that most of you are now rolling your eyes and thinking, “Is this guy for real”? The answer is, sadly, yes and I am the first to admit that. Other than one or two things in life, the only thing I am certain about the rest is that I have no idea for sure about any of it! And that includes food preparation.
But here is what I do know- the love that abounds around Thanksgiving is a good thing, and remembering those feelings for the day after when we get to eat the leftovers is another good thing. And when there is still enough pumpkin pie for the 3rd day- well, that just tops it off and is definitely the reason why Thanksgiving is one of America’s, and my, favorite holidays.
Cheers!

How come we didn’t get any pumpkin pie to take home?
Other then that Robert you were the perfect host. You set the table, figured out how to use the convection oven, washed the dishes, and did the whole clean up yourself. You fixed us the take home food, which we had last night. Everything was perfect, and you made it so. Let’s do it again next year, God willing.
Love,
